I guess I'm both sorry and glad for you Terry. Glad that your back can be helped, but sorry that you have to endure another surgery, with a painful recovery. I pray that this is the one that does more than any others. Maybe this can be the last.

I guess that's sor of a good news/bad news situation then. It's great that they can do something for your pain and give you come relief but not so good that that relief will be the result of surgery. I suppose it is MUCH better than the potential long term complications if you did nothing though so that's what you need to focus on. I know you will be strong through this because you seem to be that kind of person...and when you are feeling less than strong,you will have all of us here to lean on.

I hope they explained everthing that is going to happen in the surgery. When I went to see a neurosurgeon for my lower back, I asked him questions regarding the surgery and he gave me a pamphlet to read and sent me off and told me to call his office with a decision - with his attitude that pretty much summed up my answer on the spot. I hope everything is going to be ok = you'll be in my prayers Terry!

Oh yes I got one too. But this is the same surgery I went through 2 years ago. Thanks for your prayers I do appreciate them. My next visit he will talk about the surgery.

Oh Terry, I'm so sorry to hear that you do need surgery, as I know how you're dreading it...but if it will really help you to be without anymore pain I guess it's best you have it...my prayers are still with you :)
